Bringing Benefits to All Areas of Life

Maharishi's achievements are far-reaching both in the field of knowledge and in action. During the past 50 years, more than five million people have learned Transcendental Meditation, and over 40,000 teachers of Transcendental Meditation have been trained, opening thousands of teaching centres throughout the world. Hundreds of Maharishi schools, colleges and universities have been founded, and Transcendental Meditation programmes have been introduced in private businesses, universities, prisons, the military, and other public institutions.

The True Significance

Maharishi also completely restored the thousands-of-years-old scattered Vedic literature restoring the true significance of its theory and practice, and organized it in the form of a complete and systematic science of consciousness. Maharishi's practical programmes quietly establish life according to Natural Law without requiring change in any area of endeavour, to irrevocably change the course of time in favour of peace and happiness for all mankind.
